Controversy
Months after the game's European release, the Church of England threatened legal action against Sony for featuring the interior of Manchester Cathedral without permission. BBC News: Cathedral row over video war game (June 9, 2007) Sony issued an apology on June 15, 2008, stating:"We do not accept that there is any connection between contemporary issues of 21st Century Manchester and a work of science fiction in which a fictitious 1950s Britain is under attack by aliens. It is not our intention to cause offense by using a representation of Manchester Cathedral in chapter eight of the work. If we have done so we sincerely apologize."Escapist Magazine: Sony Apologizes to Church of England (June 19, 2007)
